The engineers in charge of the development of human-centered Woven City, a living laboratory where all kinds of goods and services are connected using cutting-edge mobility and logistics systems, plan to hold a series of Woven City Tech Meetups. For this series of events, each session will have a different theme, and the engineers responsible for the development of Woven City will talk about what goes on behind the scenes.
We hope that you will be able to use this event as an opportunity to expand your technical skills and connect with the community.
